The Wisdom Shortcut

The best advice you never got.

[thewisdomshortcut-blog]

If you like what you're doing, keep doing it. If you like who you are, keep being you. Don't ever let anyone make you feel like your hopes and dreams are stupid. 😣 . . In reality, most people are deeply dissatisfied with their lives. Over half of all people don't like their job! 😲 . . Don't be afraid to walk your own path. Social pressures are something we all deal with. A lot of the time people will try to steer yout behavior subconsciously. Don't let them. 😤 . .

How many of you guys wish that you had someone to help guide you through life? How helpful would it be if successful people gave you advice? 😀 . . I spent years following millionaires and consuming their content. I paid thousands of dollars to take their courses. I read dozens of books. 🤔 . . What I offer to you at the Wisdom Shortcut is access to all the knowledge I gained from my years of study. 📖 . . 🔥🔥Click the link in my bio to get the best advice you never got!🔥🔥

I am a strict calorie counter... But I love candy... Know how I stay on track? I never buy candy... For me, the only way to avoid distractions is to totally eliminate them. 🙈 . . Do you play too many video games? Get rid of them. Is your phone distracting you when you should be studying in the library? Leave your phone in the car. 📱 . . Willpower is a resource and you only have so much to spend. That's why you should conserve your willpower and stay far away from your triggers. This has a much higher chance of success than simply telling yourself no. ✔ . . Removing distractions @thewisdomshortcut 📴 . . #distractions #focus #temptation #willpower #avoidance #strategy

Some things truly are better left unsaid... I hear so many people every day spouting their idiotic opinions when they clearly have no idea what they are talking about. 😂 . . If you have not thoroughly researched a topic, you should probably shut up. Your opinion is not valid if it is uniformed. Intelligent people listen more than they speak because they understand their own ignorance. 🤔 . . Contribute your thoughts on a topic when you can provide valuable insight to the discussion. Only do this when you are knowledgeable on the topic. Otherwise, ask questions to draw out the nuances or keep your damn mouth shut. 🤐 . . Value or silence @thewisdomshortcut 🙊 . . #youropiniondoesntmatter #providevalue #dontspeak #listen #thinkbeforeyouspeak

I am always fighting that voice in my head that tells me that my dreams are "unrealistic." I bet a lot of you give up or don't start at all in the name of being "realistic." 🤔 . . My response to that is this - living a life I don't enjoy is unrealistic. Avoiding the things I truly want in life is unrealistic. 🔥 . . Stop making excuses for going after your heart's desires in the name of some made up realism in your mind. We aren't naysayers at the Wisdom Shortcut. We believe in the power of dreams. Go after yours. ❤ . . #Making dreams a reality @thewisdomshortcut 🗻 . . #realistic #unrealistic #dream #dreambig #noexcuses #stoplyingtoyourself #dreamstoreality

You guys are all badasses! Don't let people mess with you! People respond to courage, so show your bravery! 😤 . . I think everyone should be capable of being a little intimidating from time to time. There is no need to be mean, but we are pack animals, and there is a pecking order. Don't be on the bottom. 😡 . . Make it your goal to move up the hierarchy in whatever environment you are in and more opportunities will come your way! ⛰ . .

Be formidable. People have a natural instinct to take advantage of each other so you must be on your guard. 👊 . . Being perceived as harmless opens you up to being a doormat for aggressive people. This is why learning to assert yourself is so important. 😤 . . Be polite yet firm. Don't be afraid to tell people no. It really is true what they say - give an inch and they take a mile. Keep that mile for yourself. 😎 . . Formidable @thewisdomshortcut 💪 . . #formidible #strong #assertive #intense #reserved #polite #dominant #aggressive

There have been so many times in my life where I felt like a failure. There will be many more. The key to getting through these times is to 1) accept their inevitability and 2) forgive yourself. 🙏 . . There is no way to avoid this feeling no matter how successful you are. I believe this is a natural part of the human condition. There is nothing wrong with you. 👊 . . It is ok to fail. We all do it. We all feel shitty about it. It's just part of life. You are still a good person. Keep trying. It will get better. You can do it. 😍 . . It's gonna be alright @thewisdomshortcut ❤ . . #itsok #forgiveyourself #weallfail #youareagoodperson #dontworry

Happy Father's day to all of you! I hope you all get the chance to spend time with your father today. Count yourself thankful for all that he does! He will not be around forever, so cherish your time with him... 🙏 . . A lot of people out there are not lucky enough to have their fathers around. I am one of those people. To the fatherless: you are doing a great job. Keep going. I am proud of you. ❤ . . I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful day today. Keep your chin up and be grateful for what you have! Some people don't have even close to what you do! 💎 . . Happy Father's day @thewisdomshortcut 👨‍👦 . . #fathersday #dad #father #daddy #parents #havefun #blessed #grateful

If you want something, focus your effort toward attaining it. It's that simple. You should be taking advantage of days like today that most of us have off of work. 👔 . . Most people will use their weekends only for short term pleasure. Don't be those people. There is nothing wrong with having fun frequently, but even fun in high doses is counterproductive. 😲 . . Use at least a portion of your free time to invest in your future. It is not an option guys. Delay at least some of your gratification or your will never change your life. 🤔 . .

Strength comes from overcoming many challenges. Some challenges we choose and others we do not. Choose to put yourself in situations to earn small victories. These give you the confidence to win larger ones. 🏆 . . You will rise to meet the challenges you do not choose. All of us are much stronger than we think. We simply need to be tested against our will for this strength to reveal itself. ✊ . . Be thankful for adversity, hardship, and pain. These are the paths to fulfilling your true potential. Don't waste that potential on comfort and false security. 🙏 . . Thankful for the pain @thewisdomshortcut 💪 . . #nopainnogain #becomestronger #hiddenpotential #adversity #pain #ratherfeelpainthannothingatall

I take pride in being strange and different from other people. The very definition of average and mediocre is fitting in, so I don't understand why "fitting in" is desirable... 🤔 . . Wouldn't you rather be exceptional? Wouldn't you rather have people admire and respect you? I would. That's why I strive to be different every single day. 😎 . . Those of you who are outcasts: you are on the right track. Being on the outside makes it easier to change for the better since you have less attachment to the status quo. 🤓 . .

Most people go through life on auto pilot. They are totally oblivious to what's going on around them. 😳 . . Pay attention! You can learn a lot by carefully observing your surroundings. Sometimes people say important things that reveal a lot of information or that could change your opinion. 🔎 . . Watch and listen! There is a wealth of knowledge all around you ripe for the taking! Learn to read people to predict future events! You will become a hell of a lot smarter and more effective. 🙏 . .

Giving up the things that distract you is vital. Every single one of us have bad habits that get in our way. Some of us waste money and time. Some of us eat too much. 🛍 . . Sacrifice what is not completely vital to your success and watch how much easier it becomes. Distractions are plentiful in the modern world, so learning to avoid them is a necessary skill. 💎 . . Let go of your minor comforts today and have a life of luxury in the future. Spend that time and effort with purpose and your dreams will come true. 👑 . .

It is amazing how much a little effort sustained over time can add up. I only started the Wisdom Shortcut back in April. Look how far it has come! 😲 . . Guys I am lazy... I can only do a little bit of work at a time. But guess what? I am consistent every damn week. That shit adds up quick as you can see. 😎 . . You don't have to do everything at once! Even one hour per day is extremely powerful! You CAN achieve your goals with dedication. Hang in there. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time... 🐘 . . Takin that bite every day @thewisdomshortcut 👑 . . #dedication #consistency #sustainedeffort #littlebylittle #ittakestime #romewasntbuiltinaday

Today it seems that everyone wants to claim to be victims of circumstance. Whether it be your race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc. Everyone wants to say they have the odds stacked against them. 😒 . . Try living in a trailer park in an abusive household with no father, eviction notices, bullying, no friends, surrounded by drug addiction and imprisonment with nobody believing in you never hearing one word of encouragement. 😖 . . That's what I lived. What the hell is your excuse? So many people in the world today have running water, no threats of war, smartphones with the entire history of human knowledge, and so much food that obesity is a bigger problem than starvation. 😲 . . No shit the world is unfair! Try living under fuedalism! Quit your damn complaining and do something about your situation! Life has NEVER been easier for all of you. You can whine or you can shine. And I have no time or sympathy for whiners. 😤 . .

People seem to think that they can avoid risk by avoiding change. They fail to realize the concept of opportunity cost which basically means that you risk potential opportunities and what they could bring by playing it safe. 🤔 . . In short, you miss out on how much better your life could possibly be rather than showing a little courage and trying to make something happen. 😤 . . Comfort is not safety. Never confuse these two. You could get laid off due to a bad economy or someone could decide they don't like you and get rid of you. At least what I do, I am the one behind the steering wheel... 💪 . .
